En la playa sonora
De auras primaverales,
De las ondas azules del Sorrento
Mueren bajo frondosos naranjales,
Junto al seto, a la vera del camino,
Hay una tosca piedra,
Que mira indiferente el peregrino.
En ella oculta el alelí frondoso
Un nombre que jamás repite el eco.
Sólo a veces, si en busca de reposo
Errante pasajero se detiene,
Al ver el epitafio entre las hojas,
Ante la luz del moribundo día,
Mientras copiosas lágrimas derrama,
-«¡Diez y seis años!», suspirando clama;
«De morir no era tiempo todavía».
Mas, ¿a qué recordar esas escenas?
Dejad que gima el viento
y que murmuren las azules olas.
Yo no quiero llorar en mi aislamiento;
Quiero soñar con mi dolor a solas.

«¡Diez y seis años! ¡Sí, diez y seis
años!»
Torna a decir el pasajero. Y nunca
En una frente más encantadora
Esa edad fulguró; ni otras pupilas
Más hermosas el brillo reflejaron
De esas playas ardientes e intranquilas.
Hoy en vano la llamo:
¡Sólo el alma responde a mi reclamo!
Pero la siento en mí, y a verla vuelvo;
La vuelvo a ver como en felices días,
De puras e inocentes alegrías,
Cuando fijos en mí los negros ojos,
Cual astros en ignota lontananza,
Me hablaba de su amor entre sonrojos,
Y yo, de mi pasión y mi esperanza.
Bien me acuerdo: ondulaban sus cabellos
Del aura al soplo acompasado y blando;
En torno el viento aromas derramaba;
Del trasparente velo se pintaba
La sombra en su mejilla,
y distintos se oían los cantares

Del pescador en la desierta orilla.
y de pronto mostrándome la luna,
Flor de la noche bruna,
y las espumas de la mar, me dijo:
-«¿Por qué llena de luz el alma siento?
Jamás el firmamento
Donde la estrella del amor nos mira;
Jamás esas arenas donde vienen
Las olas a morir; esas enhiestas
Montañas cuyas crestas
Tiemblan entre los cielos, y los bosques
En torno a la ensenada;
Las luces de la costa abandonada
y del nocturno pescador el canto
Halagaron cual hoy mi fantasía...
¡Nunca infundieron en el alma mía
Este que siento, celestial encanto!
»¿No volveré a soñar cual sueño ahora
En embriagante calma?
¿Es que en los cielos asomó la aurora
O es que una estrella se encendió en mi alma?
Hijo de la mañana, ¿son las noches
De tu país tan bellas
Como esta que a mi lado estás mirando
Tachonada de fúlgidas estrellas?»
Luego la virgen se acercó a la madre
Que la escuchaba cerca del ribazo,
Le dio un beso en la frente,
y quedose dormida en su regazo.

Mas, ¿a qué recordar esas escenas?
Dejad que gima el viento
y que murmuren las azules olas.
Yo no quiero llorar en mi aislamiento;
¡Quiero soñar con mi dolor a solas!
¡Cuánto candor en su mirada! ¡Cuánta
Inocencia en sus labios seductores!
¡Quién no hubiera creído en ese instante
Ver concentrados en su alma virgen
Del cielo de su patria los fulgores!
El bello lago de Nemí, que nunca
Un soplo arruga, es menos trasparente;
Jamás pudo ocultar sus pensamientos;
Sus ojos, de su espíritu trasunto,
Los revelaban sin quererlo al punto.
Todo jugaba en ella; y la sonrisa,
Que es con los años contracción de duelo,
Siempre brillaba en sus carmíneos labios
Como arco-iris en radiante cielo.
Ninguna sombra oscureció su rostro;
y si libre los campos recorría,
Cual suelta mariposa,
Una límpida ola parecía
Coronada de luz esplendorosa.
Corría por correr, y su armoniosa
y halagadora voz, arpegio tierno
De su alma pura, que era un canto eterno,
Alegraba hasta al aura rumorosa.

Fue la primer imagen
Que se imprimió en su corazón la mía,
Como la luz en los dormidos ojos
Que se abren con el día.
Desde que amó, fue amor el Universo;
Confundió mi existencia,
Mi existencia entre lágrimas y abrojos,
Con su vida de paz y de inocencia;
Palpitó con mi alma, y formé parte
Del mundo que flotaba ante sus ojos,
De todos sus anhelos,
De la efímera dicha de la tierra
y la eterna esperanza de los cielos.
No pensaba ni en tiempo ni en distancia,
Ni existía el pasado en su memoria,
Pues para ella la vida era el presente.
Todo su porvenir fueron las tardes
De aquellos días de celeste gloria.
Entregó a la Natura
Su corazón, sin sombra de pecado,
y a la plegaria pura
Que de su huerto con las blancas flores
Iba a esparcir en el altar amado.
y de la mano, como niño humilde,
Me conducía al templo de la aldea,
y de rodillas me decía quedo:
«¡Reza conmigo! ¡Sin tu amor, bien mío,
El cielo mismo comprender no puedo!»

¿No veis el agua azul y trasparente
Al abrigo del aura vagabunda
y del sol encendido,
En el estanque de la clara fuente?
En él un blanco cisne
Nada, de su hermosura haciendo alarde,
y oculta el cuello en el cristal bruñido
Donde tiembla la estrella de la tarde.
Pero si a nuevas fuentes alza el vuelo,
La clara linfa con el ala azota
y extinta queda la visión del cielo.
y con las plumas que dejó deshechas,
Como arrancadas por astuto buitre,
y con la arena que del fondo brota,
El estanque, antes puro,
Que las estrellas reflejaba en calma,
Queda revuelto al fin, triste y oscuro.
Así, cuando partí, todo en su alma
Lo revolvió el dolor; su luz muriente
Huyose al cielo a no volver; y cuando
Vio, sola y afligida,
Su más bella ilusión desvanecida,
Se despidió del porvenir, que goces
No le ofrecía en su abandono aciago;
No disputó su vida al sufrimiento,
Alzó la copa del dolor tranquila
y la apuró de un trago,
En tanto que en su lágrima primera
Ahogaba el corazón; y como el ave

Cuando el sol en los mares se sepulta,
Para dormir oculta
La cabeza en el ala entumecida,
Se envolvió en su tristeza abrumadora,
y se durmió también... pero en la aurora,
En la risueña aurora de su vida.
Mas,  ¿a qué recordar esas escenas?
Dejad que gima el viento
y que murmuren las azules olas,
Yo no quiero llorar en mi aislamiento,
¡Quiero soñar con mi dolor a solas!
En su lecho de tierra ya ha dormido
Muchos años, y nadie
Quizá a llorar a su sepulcro ha ido,
y tal vez en la senda
Que a su postrer asilo conducía.
Se encontrará extendido
El segundo sudario de los muertos,
El implacable olvido.
Nadie esa piedra ya medio borrada
Con una flor visita;
Nadie solloza allá, nadie medita.
Sólo mi pensamiento en esa tumba
Ruega contrito, si remonto el vuelo
De este bullicio, donde sufre el alma,
A otra región de amor, de luz y calma,
y al corazón demando esas queridas

Prendas que ya no existen, y columbro
En las sombras calladas
Sus luminosas huellas,
y lloro tantas fúlgidas estrellas
En mi nublado cielo ya apagadas.
La primera ella fue, mas el divino
y dulce resplandor que en torno vierte
Aun alumbra mi lóbrego camino,
De errante peregrino,
De errante peregrino hacia la muerte.
Un espinoso arbusto
De pálida verdura
Crece junto a su humilde sepultura;
Por el sol calcinado
y por los vientos de la mar batido,
Vive en la roca, sin prestarle sombra,
Como un pesar en corazón herido.
El polvo de la ruta
Blanqueó su follaje, y a la tierra
Baja a servir de pasto
A la cabra montés. Como de nieve
Limpio copo, al nacer la primavera,
Brota en él una flor; mas, ¡ay!, en breve,
Antes de dar al aura lisonjera
Su aroma regalado,
La arranca de su tallo el viento airado,
Cual la vida apagada por la muerte
Antes que al corazón haya halagado

Un ave solitaria el vuelo posa
Sobre una rama que se dobla, y canta
Con voz entristecida,
Cuando cae la tarde silenciosa.
¡Oh, dime, flor marchita sobre el lodo,
Flor que tan pronto marchitó la vida!,
¿No hay otra vida en que renace todo?
Volved a mi memoria,
Tristes recuerdos de esa triste historia;
Volved, recuerdos de mi amor primero,
A traer a mi espíritu la calma.
Ve, pensamiento, a donde va mi alma...
¡Mi corazón rebosa, y llorar quiero!
TR3F1LD Sep 2023
have you ever felt like you're trapped
in a prison you self-erected & cast
yourself into? like life's something you're terrible at
existentially wack so dreadfully that
there's a reasonable question to ask
where are your testicles, chap?
'cause, like a man that commits a va[ɛ]nishing act
once he detects that his lass is expecting a brat
the way you live is cowardly; a hell of a lack
["way you leave"]
of ***** akin to sO̲mebody bereft of his nads
comfort zone ain't
much different from a coffin you are a hostage to
A̲lthough no way a freaking throat spray
will treat you okay
["coughing"]
if you want to live akin to those a[eɪ]—
—zure-hued pills treating fever or pain
["want Aleve"; "want to leave [the coffin]"]
you've gotta Beatrix Kiddo your way
outta it; in fact, I'm 'bout to evince one more way
[the "outta the grave" scene from "**** Bill: Vol. 2"]
by which you portray the thing aforenamed
that ***** reminds of a tempting she-devil; you have
["attempting"]
if you wanna feel good
to ream it, like a guy, keeping it broad, stretched like a ****
or else it's gonna be you
the one winding up f#cked, much like a chief authoritarian das—/a##—
—****/—hole when his dishono[—]rable rule
winds up effing collapsed; like a pestilent brat
you get it, but your co[ɑ]nstant pla[ɛ]n of attack
is digital escapism helping to kick aside depression, a tad
though; 'cause no matter how much you la[ɛ]m, you get back
into the real—nE̲ss that you have
which is quite a mess like a lass'
coif when she's outside, & the weather is trash
raining, just like Hussein in his presiding days (trash, reigning)
I might lO̲O̲k to be an evil-minded skate
now, but, seizing the opportunity
like some viced ***** gained
a role O̲f a rU̲ler with
an unchecked political might & aimed
at establishing a tight-grip reign inside the state
[opportunism]
I hhhooock... thooo... spit on tyrants' graves
and graves of their compliant aides (ha-ha)
without the slightest shame, I, like a crane for construction, raze
["raise"]
their heads—tones by a mace from the knightly age
bet taphophiles ain't gonna like the way
in which I behave; ones who're enviro-cray
better get fire squa[ɑ]ds awake like a rite that takes
place after someone's life has waned (a wake)
'cause I get mY̲ hands laid
on a pulverizer with spirits of wine & spray
it on those scheissers' grave—yards, then make
[German "scheißer"]
them go, like the face of someone laughing so wildly they
are about to split their sides, ablaze
the rhyme-insane, yet quite cheap, brain
is, like the most upright stiffs reign—ing for a long time, depraved
thanks to the West-produced mass
culture (tha[ɛ]nk you a stack) & has a relish/penchant for gals
with looks of models composing the "dekok plus" class
["dekok" (Esperanto) - "eighteen"]
the problem's most of those lean to[—]ward sE̲lf-confy lads
and are mostly/mainly 'bout lettuce, in fact
which makes me remember the Jack
the Ripper case (letters)
[more than 200 letters signed as "Jack the Ripper" were written]
so, as for a GF̲ for a chap
like that, having one seems like an excellent pad
[house]
for a beggar to have; impossible like a saint autocrat
(like a saint autocrat; absolute absurdity)
forget it, let's yap
I mean, let me get to something else I would yap
about; not an oriental-grown chap
but into rhyming 'cause I'm a perfectionist that
["ramen"]
takes this thing as something he's no[ɑ]t ineffectual at
if not for the aesthetical cast
["cast" in the sense of "outward form", etc.]
which is rhymes, I'd not even bother tryna express all this crap
[especially, the personal one]
'cause what's the point when nigh-on none on the web who reacts
to whatev' you say or demonstrate?
remember I had the more pleasura[—]ble past
virtual realities, not having to go to a jO̲[ɑ]b that stinks
nO̲ stupid po[ɑ]litics (these were the times)
which is ****̲te you can't take null notice of 'cA̲U̲[ɑ]se you twig
it's the post-enlightenment time gO̲ing on, A̲[ɑ]lthough it's
a giant & atrocious auto[ɑ]cracy
you abide in, as if you were related to the dude presiding
as the head of the big state kept, like a group of do[ɑ]gs in—
—volved in a mush, united; in terms of music, I̲ went
["you are Biden"]
from somewhat generic electro[ɑ]nic
sh#t, both, ba[ɛ]ngers & melo[ɑ]dic
ones to heavier & dA̲rk sh#t; however, I, regardless
still dig some graves like a fellow with boneY̲A̲rd shifts
[Christian Mochizuki, better known as "graves"]
though wouldn't tE̲ll that I am go[ɑ]thic
given that, it's okay I̲f I
["if I" is supposed to be read/pronounced as "ifa"]
would get benamed with the
word "grave-digger"'; might as well take mE̲ a
****** ***** 'kI̲n/sI̲m. ta
a playing card; though I, as I've said, am no[ɑ]t
[a card with "spades" suit]
gothic, outdoor appa[ɛ]rel's all black (all black)
like a visitor on a cemetery plat
in the course of a burial act
void inside, an atramental-hued gap (mental)
which makes me something like
a walking black hole, as well as the fact
that I'm surrounded by
space like it; kind of Arthur Fleck that's yet to turn mad
which sounds a mite
hair-curling like waving, so, before you find
yourself a bit horrified, let me get that clarified
to be more precise, a marbles-wise
lighter case, 'kin to a lighter casing
with the web to distract myself from the lack—
—luster realness, yet, with all thA̲t
flammable crap, ptui, I mean negative crap
I'm like a walking ba[ɛ]rrel with gas
it's better not to set a lit match
my way, it's appa[ɛ]rent, like a stem a pear has, a psychotherapy cab's
["a pear end"'; "cabin"/"cabinet" in the sense of "private room"]
where I should be spending the time of mine
instead of sitting in the bedroom inditing rhymes
as if you hit upon rhymes so tight
that their existence is considered a kind of crime (indicting rhymes)
but I'm the type with a b#tch of a mind: if I
have not a really distressing existence, then I am fine
like that dog sitting inside, despite
the room inside which it sits
is, like someone after an imbibing spree, lit (this is fine)
in other words, as it's been divulged not long ago
I stay pU̲t in comfort zone
like an autocratic **** roosting on the throne (scuuurred)
["****" in the sense of "****", "*****", etc.; "skirt"]
————————————————————————————————
implausible as it may sound, a bullish thought's approached
[implausible" is supposed to be read/pronounced as "implausibowl"]
my mind: I may be someone looking lost, although
I, unlike someone unable to move or gone, still go (that's the spirit!)
dull right to (like an average new-school rapper) **** nowhere

In the beginning there was the word
and the word eventually volved into millions
and now we talk with flagrant disregard
meanings are lost in definitions
and we no longer honor the words
that have brought us this far.
Well today that stops as I invite all
to honoring the 8 sacred words.

These are the words groked after birth
inherently transparently giving us our worth,
these words are why we are here on this earth;
Feel, Dream, Creation, Faith, Learning, Light, Being and Love.

  (1)
Feel
The real deal, the one that dictates what you perceive as real, a double entendre for the body and mind, covers the basic five and the infinite emotional responses. Such nuances to each like how the olfactory assists with memory like that time I was makin' golden fluff pancakes and hominy with my Aunt and Uncle getting ready for  Sunday School at a grueling five in the morning.
I still remember mourning Grandma Ruth at my first funeral.
Certain feelings are hard, if not impossible to explain, like when a painting or movie moves you to tears, I still get choked up watching Jimmy Stewart in Harvey.
But still I remember the feeling when this girl ran some ice down my spine for the first time. Now imagine being blind-folded as the cold slowly melts and the drips trickle down and the only sound you hear is her breathing and your heartbeat as she monotonously drags the chill down Yeah, I know you feel me on that one now.
That's the power Feeling can bring about
touching our most primal basic instincts to the intricate emotions someone brings upon your being when they sing that song that gets you every time.  

(2)
Dream
A powerful word. They can change people and things, just ask one Dr. Martin Luther King.  

   (3)
Creation
Regardless if it's the idea for the Iphone or baby makin, all life originates at creation.
It's why all are god,
why we all got this reason to be
like a painter paints his wrinkled heart on the canvas,
why a poet like me let's words flow out like a dam that's broken.
Creation births ideas and people with vision, we’re all born with this fingertip power
and a joyous vibe in our voice
the brain overrides by the sacred eyes locked grinding oneness
paper to pen, fingers to guitar, man to woman
all ringing out in a deafening bliss entering this world!
Creation breeds change , ideas that shaped the way we do things
like the first aeroplane and those folks who birthed those to think of said thing.
The brain keeps spinning like the invention of the wheel,
keep thinking and dreaming cause creation is a sacred duty to continue evolving.  

(4)
Faith
Such a muddied word these days, but faith is where all beliefs originate.
I bet you believe you’ll wake up tomorrow after a goodnight’s sleep.
Even that is faith.
The fires of faith forge burning trust when hands shake
Faith is smithed to wave, but never break
And it’s hilt of hope marries the mind to the heart
Faith is NOT a shield to keep other beliefs at bay or people apart
it is inherently a bond of understanding
and accepting from all parts of one self and others through heaven or hell.

(5)
Learning
There's nothing more sacred than learning, be it about the world or yourself.
A momentary divine buzz as synapses join in realization.
Not everyone can be educated but everyone can certainly learn.

My Uncle used to say he learned something new every day, and I think that's the way it should be,
cause you don't stop learning once they hand that paper to you for graduating school, life is a classroom and we are all the teachers and students but the answers aren't simply in external digital books and slides
a lot of the answers of life can be found inside the classroom of your mind.
If I didn’t look inside I would have never realized my inability to take compliments was technically flat out rejecting kindness someone as tryin to bestow upon me.

Forgive my diatribe but I have a hard time around closed minds cause the brain's a gold mind and info is a much more powerful currency than those political carnies shuffling greenbacks under the coconut.

(6)
Light
A special, sacred word illuminating the world's mind and yours,
forget it's ability to help you find what you seek, like that time I lost my
keys under my bed after an art party or the way it startles your senses
when it first appears out of nowhere
the reason light is on this list is because you can add light to light AND darkness,
Can't ever make something more dark, it's just the absence of light, but you can always make something more bright that it blinds you even at night you can ignite a dark world
with a single flame watch it spread like wildfire then nothin's ever the same like a lightning shock to your brain illuminating your whole world cause now your paradigm has changed!

(7)
Being
Can you imagine just being? That's freedom. To be is free, free from ego judging thoughts from others and your self, free from worrying about social conventions like waiting for permission to eat because the prayer hasn't been said or taking a job because it pays well but it makes all the days melt into a blurry line. Being is now, it's living in each moment and riding that wave to the grave with no regrets. Just being present is one of the hardest things to master cause the barking past and enigmatic future keep jockeying for attention.

Like that time way back when I stiffed some friends for my part of the rent or anxiously awaiting my move to New York pondering if I should tell my parents. Being is freeing that's why I rhyme and write that's why I let my mad scientist hair sway in the wind that's why I run towards an accident that's why I always know what's happening cause I'm tappin into what's tattooed on my soul. And I know you know deep deep down who/what your being is, but it's easy to let others complicate it with expectations like continuing education after high school and labels like teacher or homeless lunatic but you gotta dig and hold on to what you know is true because being you to the fullest is all you can do.

Love

Love is.
These are my 8 sacred words. What are yours?

Our vision of the future
is changing, oh
so fast,
that sometimes tomorrow
seems just like
the past.

As we look from the shadow
that time
has cast.

Will we control gravity?
With wiggles from
the sky,

travel to the stars as soon
as we learn, again,
to fly.

Communicate thru DNA
with vast "we nets"
I ask WHY!

It seems, do we assume that
the acients were so
ultra dumb.

When they had the tech-no wit
to understand the
Aether hum.

Wonders from back in the day.
Were built by whom?
The aliens?

I'm not talking immigrants
but tiny green folks
from beyond:
"the stars"

Who tweaked our inner programming?
E-volved us into
bio-crystal
jars.

And

Who's adjusting us today?
Perhaps our ancient
grandpa's.
Maybe not men from
Mars.

Our dreams? Teleportation
space flight, levetation.
Traveling thru
"The Time"

Manipulating, pouring
imigaes, into our skulls of quantum
fibered
slime.

Holo-decks with lights and sound.
Full access is granted
when we become
"The Mime"

Meditate, like we are them.
We are all air fish, learn to swim
thru water that is
very thin.

Surf the waves like crazy loons.
Sing out loud, those inner tunes.
Life's just one big
lagoon.

So,

Don't *** in the water.
Act much more like you ought-er
Be more than just
fool fodder.

I thought you were dead, I said.

When the bell ring-tone tolled, I answered a
poetic quest to see for whom the bell tolled, a personal
call John Donne could never have phathomed

a wireless, recordable, broadcastable
personal
dialogue with an old aquaintance, long
thought dead.
Ask
how, not for whom, for me,
how
does this phone ring?

I love old poet guys, get in they haid 'n' giv'em a glimpse

see say the seers see
oops
there it was

just
myst it flew past into the pen-
a-trail
i-um
of missed theories.

Phone call. Brrring me all attention...

Answer out out lout, this is he (I am he, called by name)

Old John Donne just melted at the idea
of 4g cellular,
knowing
for sure for whom the bell tolls.
I wink, think,

toll paid, extol the truth, appraise the worth

Pay the price.
Hear the message, next,

after the good news
the
message in the media
(I seen the movie, I know it all, from the fall
t' now, nobody saw past
yesterday or ever, after today

while it's called today.)

At the point of no return, nobody knows.

Allusions are locks, listen.

Read. Buy of me, whispers wisdom, each piece of me you see,
the seeing, known, judged
worth the weight of believing as

we walk
in all the light we have,
we always have,

we being,

as long as we are in the world, the light of

the world, the salt in the electrolyte,
we are that, too;

as if material ATP pings into light, from power we provide,
leaving ADP for recycle and recharge,

message sent. Ditdaditdit Dah didah

Find The Answer. Look for what you hope, don't lie.
Look here,
deep in you,
you say you hang here, in your comforted zone,
converted from old

erroneous zones all piled up, like an igloo

pending completion of global warming and sealevel rise.

The signal the world sensory essentials perceive
were mere
idiot lights in 1920, now,
world signals have

e-volved into sensory arrays tied five-gee wise to
the honest-to-god globalbrain

Artistic-witty Invention, AI, augmented intelligence

for fact checkers, to use in governing the untamable lying tongue,

true to its quant-if-i-able motivator point:

no lie is true. Zero is not 1, nor any other imaginible thing,
caw,
zero is nevermore
than nullness in a position imagined re

ifiable, re-alified, holder of nine's place
just incase

the increase decreases suddenly and the patterns we ex
pected per
spication-wise morph from razor sharp creases to
wrinkles

in time

Evil has a snowball's chance in hell,

ha ha ha lol AI think turing tests are responsible for cognitive

neural nets leaking
from left ears, silken threads, lacing through wars and peaces,
pearly
encrusted
traditional
bubbles building up around

preciousnesses the size of a single trans-re-trans-re-trans
mogrificative
spell

muttered once, on the shore, as now

care
fill me less,
care
fill me none, no care is mine I cast them on

whoever cares.
Take 'em away with this next wave of breath
After an unexpected dialog with a former warrior friend, from the days of dying for causes
Cuando en mis manos, Rey eterno, os miro,
y la cándida víctima levanto,
de mi atrevida indignidad me espanto
y la piedad de vuestro pecho admiro.

Tal vez el alma con temor retiro,
tal vez la doy al amoroso llanto,
que arrepentido de ofenderos tanto
con ansias temo, y con dolor suspiro.

Volved los ojos a mirarme humanos,
que por las sendas de mi error siniestras
me despeñaron pensamientos vanos;

no sean tantas las miserias nuestras
que a quien os tuvo en sus indignas manos
vos le dejéis de las divinas vuestras.

The songwriter.
Hit it dead on button.
When he spoke of love.
He wrote about the girl being the object of attraction.

Even if it was about heartbreak.
She still was the one he spoke of trying to love.
Now that's love.

The songwriter.
She wrote about all his wrongs.
Not once about the time he was strong.

Like when he did wrong to keep her.
Like when he was their to support her.
Now that's love.

Maybe her vision is different from his.
Or maybe his was different than hers.
But love was in volved.
It's just how the story was reported.
By him.
By her.
The songwriter.
Tyler Matthew Oct 2019
Nearer to the edge
                             I see.
Crawling through
          eternity.
Searching for the master key.
This is our reality.

Communication has de-
                                         volved.
None of our real problems solved.
  We have become      uninvolved
while the whole world revolves.

Spinning further from cont
                                          ro
                                            l.
Turn 'round and view it as a whole.
  Mother Nature's gifts we        stole.
This is how our story goes.

Once black and white.
Once dark and light.
To complicate.
Bring on our fate.

Our halos tilt.
Intentions wilt.
Ambitions great.
Never too late.

Turn 'round to see the sum of things.
Counting on the dead tree's rings.
Refering to ourselves as kings.
Soaring on the deathbird's wing.

in better times, I remember I
began getting quite arrested, like
a ****** susp., by
Harmonía, which keeps serving
to this day as a source of both psychic sunlight
and real enjoyment (sometimes)
which is somewhat funny co[ɑ]mbined
with the fact it was a summer month I
started getting more in—volved in thI̲s diversion
summer twenty fourteen
which means she's something I have bE̲E̲n exploring
for... um... already more than
a decade, like rotten souls of autocratic rogues
["decayed"]
but it's a mite bigger story
given the fA̲ct I'd known
and been sort of into her some years before then
she can be so diverse, from natural
to artificial & including parts of both
plenty of heartbeat types & tempos
and vibes: from nice & mellow
to harsh & evil, from bright to dismal
from refined & regal to energized & feral
she can pep up automotive-buzz-replete strolls
she's there for you in times you feel low
and any kind of insult is something she won't
ever do, unlike a lo[ɑ]t of people; I can hardly be called
jolly, like a harlequin lo[ɑ]cked within walls
of a go[ɑ]ddamn mental
["Harley Quinn"; "Gotham"]
asylum, but I'm undisputably
glad there was an o[ɑ]pportunity
for me to be introduced to her
and all the gO̲O̲d 'bout her cited through the verse
is why I'm glued to her, like a woman's fourth
point of contact
["glutes o' her"]
not a single day of mine is thrO̲U̲gh sans her
but if you think I'm alluding to[—]wards
a close other, you have sure
misunderstood the verse (some of it)
[Unlike Pluto has a tune being, as it's stated by him, "a love song as a metaphor for alcoholism"]
[it's called "Ethel", which is a homophone for "ethyl"]
————————————————————————————————
for I'm not one with a people-oriented frame
of mind, but a music nerd
with a broad extent of taste
for music, but one whO̲ prefers
mostly middle-paced
and boomy forms
of it, such as midtempo bass
midtechno, EDM glitch hop, moombahcore
drift phonk "*******", like a *****'s brain
moombahton, & 2000s reggaeton
but some years ago, when old & new reports
of injustices of the human world
next to the discontent of daily adult-hood were serv—
—ing as ****** fuel in terms
of the ignition of the stupid urge
to get something (boo!) destroyed
to bring against injustice-contributing jerks retribution earned
a craze for more dark-sounding, brutal sorts
of tunes was formed as a substitution for
destruction, like any amusement's purp.
["distraction"; "purpose"]
along with music, another gO̲O̲d means for
getting through the murk
has been, like when a whip's coming thrO̲U̲gh keen curves
sideways with its wheels sliding through the course
of it, creative writing, putting words (mislead)
["creative riding"; "ᵖᵤᵗᵢⁿ words"]
into this seductive-looking form (indeed)
————————————————————————————————
and I really was thinking after the last-done work
(that killing joke tale)
that I won't manage to craft one more (usual thoughts)
took 3 & a half months burned (for the most part)
and the thought of o[ɑ]bligation to wha[ʌ]t's been saving
me from ending up in a darker place in
order to undertake an—other rhyme creation
(hopefully not the last one, but I can't be sure)
